- dancey dance robots -

the other day my boss asked me if i wanted to start working on a music video for one of my projects. of course i said, "yes!" it will be all photoshop designed/after effects animated kinda stuff, and even though after 3 days of working on it, ive only got six seconds, 7 characters, and 1 environment, im super psyched about the project! i cant wait to see it finished. for now though, i have some of my robot characters that i can share with you. enjoy.

- 3 POSTERS -

its been a while since ive posted something on here. jack and i (otherwise known as "they bury the living") worked together to make these three posters for motion productions two year anniversary. utilizing some columbus bar/venue landmarks and an array of alien invaders, the invasion came together. im excited to see them printed out and put up next to one another. should be cool to see. look closely to see some fun things we put in there.

- we buried the living -

jack and i finally did a project together! thanks to sleepers awake for being the first victims of, they bury the living. anyways, it was fun, and i look forward to doing some more TBTL in the future. so look out for some of that!

- website intro -

there have been lots of posts about work related things recently. and here is yet another. we're going to be re-doing our website. making it a little more geared toward our new documentary and film production, as opposed to company video stuff. so, im getting to design it, along with making a little after effects intro to the website. again, trying to tie it in with films. its still in progress, but i was excited to show what i have so far. so here it is...

- movies, movies, posters, posters -

my work is trying to make some movies. there are several ideas in the works. and to help sell these ideas, they asked me to make some fake posters. here are some of the ones i made today. not sure if any of them will make my final cut, but they are a start at least.

- new business card -

my boss said it was time to change the look of our business cards.
here is what my new business card will look like...

- priceless -

my work is going to be making a documentary, presently titled, "priceless value". from how its been described, it sounds kinda like, "every man's battle"...but for girls. anyways, something about "price" and "value" made me think of the little sections of advertisements for cheap stuff in the back of old school comic books. so that is the kind of look i went for. although, i had to leave out some of my favorite ads because they didnt seem too appropriate to be on this cover. for example, the blood curdling screaming rubber bats on strings that you had to send in $2.99 for, the monster hands and the fake blood capsules.

so, yesterday was my first attempts at learning after effects, and i have to say that i am SUPER excited! i learned how to animate photographs, moving a camera in a 3-d environment between layers that made in photoshop and all that good stuff. so i thought, i would attempt something other than a photo, and just create my own landscape to move around in. its really exciting to get too see what it would be like to actually be in the environments that i create! i cant wait to do more! and here is my first little test of trying it out...

- enemies -

a favorite track, so far.

- sheldon's poster -

and a poster, just for kicks...

- sheldonmarsh :: tigerforce -

after 2 plus years, the album is finally finished. the cds are being printed right now, i believe. and the artwork i made (2 options) for them is being turned into a gocco stamp, and being stamped onto white cardboard sleeves. i always enjoy listening to what my friends are doing musically, and there are several tracks on this album that are worth putting an ear to. the release is in two weeks, so i suggest trying to grab one.

- lightning in a bottle -

i made this a while ago for my work, as a part of a marketing campaign, "lightning in a bottle". i like the image and the rest of the stuff i made for it. we didnt end up doing anything with it though...

- light field -

i was searching through some images on my computer today, and i came across this guy i made about a year ago i think. there is something about it that i enjoy a lot. i kinda want to make a short film with this guy. in a field. with a storm coming. we'll see.

- ZOMBIE -

i recently acquired four amazing horror movies, including: Basket Case, Brain Damage, (1980s remake of) The Blob and Friday the 13th Part III (in 3-D, with 2 pairs of 3-D glasses)! ive havent watched them all yet, because horror movies are best when you watch them with friends. but we'll get to the rest of them soon enough. anyways, ive been really wishing that i had some classic or b-horror movie shirts. i might make a few on my own.

to help express the more ferocious beats of bundlefly...

- weird bird creature BF poster -

...yep.

i wish i were better with words so that i could properly describe how i feel about the album that my friends have created. i want to use the words; epic, beautiful, grand. my hope is that the art i created for them directs people towards a better understanding of the story josh wrote being masterfully told over the course of 11 tracks. needless to say, i suggest that whenever you can, get a copy of this album.

well, brundlefly met up a couple days ago to talk about finishing the album. how do we do it? what more do we need? when can we work on it? all that good stuff. and we figured out a good bit, and it seems rather feasible at the moment. so of course, i ended up making a poster for brundlefly. sort of a brundle-compass to see where the album is going. heh.

- more POP -

ok, so here are the rest of the inside pages for this thing...

- POP -

my work is hopefully going to be making these tv shows for the british called, POP. in order to sell it though, we have to have some snazzy design stuff to get them interested while giving them information. which is where i come in. and the show is about an artist, painting a picture, while telling the story behind the character in the piece, and acting it out and stuff. i think it'd be fun to shoot/edit these shows, cause the dudes is pretty animated and it would just be interesting. but i guess we'll see how it goes. anyways, here is what i have so far of the snazzy stuff...
